Nylon bolts

[frayedknot]

Where can I find info on the weather resistance of nylon hardware (Nylon 6/6)? Matweb and google aren't much help for my feeble mind. I need to put nylon hardware on an assembly that will be outside 100% of the time in all types of weather.

Thanks in advance!

Nylon was inveted at Dupont. They have an excellent web site, or knowledgeable and helpful techs if you call.

In general, pure Nylon is not resistant to UV radiation. However, with the addition of UV stabilizers it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Watch for nylon, it cold flows after a period of time.
